Marie Fariñas
While completing her primary degree in psychology, Marie began working in residential care. She also volunteered as an ‘activity coordinator’ for school children. Over the past 20 years, Marie has acquired a wealth of experience working in a variety of educational care and health settings. However, the foundation of her knowledge arose working in childcare.
Marie now works as a qualified Play Therapist and Expressive Mindfulness Practitioner. She is founder of The Ceartig Space: a non judgmental and safe environment, where children, young people, and parents make use of the resources provided to work on their vulnerabilities and alleviate distress.
As well as catering for individual children and/or their parent(s), Marie can provide workshops and programs such as: Group Play Therapy, In-Parenting. Marie’s Mind-Calm programs are tailor-made and integrate aspects of neuroscience, positive psychology, mindfulness, and CBT, with the principles of Expressive Arts Therapy.
